The interesting thing is that they're all .1 addresses.  It's almost as if
the one broadcast domain has at least 7 different address spaces on it.
I've long seen similar in Comcast country.  My CPE router has an upstream
interface:
ge00      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 10:0D:7F:64:CA:0C  =
          inet addr:73.171.123.11  Bcast:73.171.123.255  Mask:255.255.254.=
0
but yet I see a continual background flux of 6-8 arp requests a second, mo=
stly
from what appear to be routers for other subnets:
# cpdump -i ge00 -n arp -c 2000 | awk '{print $7}' | sort | uniq -c
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on ge00, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
2000 packets captured
2012 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

The other odd part is that of 20 sources, only 7 appear to have PTR entrie=

When I first noticed this and mentioned it to somebody, they responded
"Forget it, Jake.  It's Chinatown".
